Chapter 536 How Can I Bear to Make You Sad?

Ji Xun took his men to the secret chamber in Mental Cultivation Hall. Although there was a map given by Su Mianyue, there were still some difficult things to deal with.

There were many of them, and without Wanyan Lin to lead the way, they were bound to meet the hidden guards inside.

Fortunately, Wanyan Lin was too confident in the secret chamber's mechanisms, so the secret guards here were not good at martial arts, but relying on familiarity with the terrain to hurt people with hidden weapons.

It took half an hour for Ji Xun to find Su Chengye and his son. He whispered something that only they knew. Ji Xun was relieved to take them away.

Although Su Hao was disabled, after all, he had martial arts skills and was not injured in the leg, but he could walk on his own. Su Chengye was not in a good condition and could only be carried out by secret guards.

Time was tight, and it was not convenient to say anything here. Ji Xun was full of worry about Su Mianyue's situation and wanted to get out of here quickly. But how could those hidden guards who were hiding in the dark let them leave so easily? The return journey was destined to be a bloody road.

Wanyan Lin was angry, but eventually agreed to let him go, but Wanyan Lin did not trust Su Mianyue at this time, so they went to Shou' an Palace, where they exchanged hostages.

Su Mianyue and his entourage walked slowly behind, keeping a few steps away from Wanyan Lin and his entourage, while master and servant Su Mianyue were surrounded in the middle to protect them.

Only Yinn Yue seemed to have been abandoned and could only walk alone in the end. Only she knew how sad she felt along the way, but she had to go to Shou' an Palace because of her identity.

Seeing Wanyan Lin, Retired Emperor angrily scolded with emotion, "Son! How did I give birth to such a devil as you? Sooner or later, the Hengyuan will be defeated by you!"

Wanyan Lin lowered his head slightly to listen to hou's lecture, unwilling to kneel in front of Su Mianyue, even if that person was his father.

Empress Dowager stroked Retired Emperor's chest from the side. It was not hard to tell from her red eyes that she was heartbroken, but now that they were surrounded by Ji Xun's secret guards, they were no longer in the mood to preach to Wanyan Lin. Moreover, Wanyan Lin was not something that her mother could convince her to do, or else there would not be today's disaster.

Su Mianyue found a chair and sat down, looking at Retired Emperor in surprise.

The man had already been hollowed out, and Su Mianyue had diagnosed him with an extra year of life, but he didn't want to hold out for so many years. Did he have any chance or was he worried that he would leave the country to Wanyan Lin to squander, so he kept his breath to this day?

No one would answer Su Mianyue's thoughts. Although she was curious, she would not ask. Not to mention Retired Emperor's face, she could tell that she was suffering. But when she said that she would pass the throne to Wanyan Lin, her son, Retired Emperor had no other thoughts but to be heartbroken every day. It's too sad to live a life where one's body and mind are abused by one's closest relatives.

"It's time for Retired Emperor to take his medicine. Miss Su shouldn't have put Retired Emperor's life in danger even if he wanted to take Retired Emperor and aijia hostage, right?" Empress Dowager looked at Su Mianyue with a complicated expression, thinking that if she hadn't urged Retired Emperor to stop Su Mianyue from entering the palace, this might not have happened today.

Even though she was in the harem, Empress Dowager had heard about the previous dynasties, especially since she knew that Su Mianyue had helped ji xun so much. If Su Mianyue had supported Wanyan Lin, today's Hengyuan would have been a different scene.

Su Mianyue did not know what Empress Dowager was thinking and said calmly, "As long as your people are not near, it doesn't matter how much medicine you drink."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager summoned the trembling palace men outside the palace to prepare soup and medicine for Retired Emperor. With Retired Emperor alive, her status as Empress Dowager could be more honorable, so Empress Dowager had always taken good care of Retired Emperor, who was seriously ill and lying in bed, and it was also spread among the people as a good story.

"Since this medicine was prepared by your people, let empress yin take it. In case Retired Emperor has any problems after taking it, we can't explain it with our mouths." Su Mianyue stopped the secret guard who was going to get the medicine bowl and sneered, "Don't worry, there are already two hostages in hand. A fake queen is not that important. My people won't be free to grab a useless chip and have to split up to guard it."

A blush appeared on Yinn Yue's pale face, but she blushed from embarrassment. As the empress, she was indeed an unimportant existence and a pawn that Wanyan Lin could give up at any time.

Yinn Yue took the bowl of medicine. This time, Yinn Yue went to serve Retired Emperor without asking Wanyan Lin for advice. She knew from her skillful movements that she often served patients, but it was much easier than Empress Dowager.

"Wanyan Lin, your people are too slow. I can wait with you, but it's not good for Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager to stay up all night, is it?" Su Mianyue glanced at Wanyan Lin with a sneer, meaning," don't play delaying tactics, it's useless."

Wanyan Lin was seen through and shouted angrily, "Where is the dark guard? We can't bring him here quickly."

"Just to be clear, if my father and brother had more injuries than they did when we met that day, I would definitely have caused the same injuries to Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager." Su Mianyue said slowly, glancing indifferently at the two of them.

It was not that she did not respect the old and love the young, but that Wanyan Lin was narrow-minded and would not be willing to give her the person intact. "I don't know how many relatives are going to come to the palace tomorrow to see them. If you are injured, I wonder how much trouble the court will cause."

Su Mianyue's careless tone let Wanyan Lin know the meaning of it, and shouted to the secret guard: "Quickly invite the Su Family father and son, remember to be as good as yesterday!"

The guard quickly took his orders and left, fearing that he would be dealt with any slower. Wanyan Lin was always murderous in his rage.

With repeated anger, the poisonous blood in Wanyan Lin's body naturally flowed faster. Although he could still grit his teeth and persevere at this moment, the figure in front of him had become blurry, which was also an important reason why wan yanlin would compromise with Su Mianyue. In the situation of the enemy being few, if he fell down, it would be the flesh of the knife.

But Su Mianyue had been keeping an eye on Wanyan Lin's condition, and it was clear what kind of poison he had used.

The poison was the result of what she seemed to be picking flowers and twirling grass on her way to the Hengyuan, but the poison was not overbearing, but Su Mianyue himself did not know what the antidote was, or even how it was prepared.

What she wanted to know the most was how long Wanyan Lin would last. It was best for Wanyan Lin to pass out when they left the palace so that they could walk more easily and safely.

In less than a cup of tea, Su Mianyue's eyes were attracted by the figure that was still clear in the dream. He quickly got up and went up to greet him. According to this time, Ji Xun and the others would come to Shou' an Palace. It was not Wanyan Lin's people who invited them, but they succeeded.

"Are you hurt?" Su Mianyue tugged at Ji Xun's body and saw blood on his sleeve. He immediately became anxious.

"Silly, this was accidentally touched by the dark guard after he was injured. How could I bear to make you sad?" Ji Xun opened his mouth gently. No matter how many people he showed his love to, he would not hide it.

Only then did Su Mianyue feel relieved and looked sideways at Su Chengye and his son, swallowing the question under Su Hao's teasing eyes.

She was indeed the most worried about Ji Xun. After all, she was not the original owner. Her feelings for Su Chengye and his son were more grateful and moved, which was different from Ji Xun's fate.
